I wear Skin Bracer Cooling Blue often. Love it. Every time I pick up AV Ice Sport in the store and give a whiff, I put it back. To me it's nice, but it doesn't really have any character to it. Smells like a body wash or shampoo scent.
I voted for Aqua Velva Ice Sport. But my true choice would be neither. I have both products in my den, and don't like either enough to actually finish them, or buy them again.
They don't come close to holding a candle to the flagship product of their respective brands.

Barbasol Pacific Rush 
Skin Bracer! That stuff is awesome but I can't get it here in Aus. I picked up a bottle from the Philippines of all places and am rationing it out until I get a chance to get another
Barbasol Pacific Rush
+1
It costs less, has a bigger burst of menthol, and doesn't have the generic "aqua" chemical smell that I detest.

Barbasol Pacific Rush
will keep an eye out especially since barbasol is the only canned shaving cream i use. none so far...
wish we got pinauds though.
It's interesting for me....
* I very much prefer the regular AV scent to regular Mennen Skin Bracer. But Skin Bracer regular is more cooling than AV Ice Blue.
* Opposite of this is that I very much prefer Mennen Cooling Blue over AV Sport. I think Mennen Cooling Blue is intended to be a knock off of the AV Ice Blue scent while AV Sport is very different compared to AV Regular and Mennen Cooling Blue. Sport is kind of a "generic shopping mall fragrance scent". The AV Sport is a bit too citrusy and sweet smelling for me. It isn't as cooling as regular AV or Mennen Cooling Blue either. It does have a lot of moisturizers compared to the AV regular and Mennen. The AV Sport scent lingers on me longer than regular AV. I like the AV scent but also the fact that it fades away quickly.

I voted for AV Ice Sport. I have tried SB Cooling Blue and I do like it, but since it isn't easily available I have to order it online and pay a little more than I'd like. I bought 4 bottles and I'm on the last one. I doubt I'll restock.
I like the smell of AV Ice Sport, although nothing great. Since it's available everywhere and I like how it makes my skin feel, it'll always be in my rotation.
